I planted a persimmon tree in our garden 16 years ago with visions of feeding my children organic fruit. It died…

Soon after I noticed this weed like looking plant emerge from our flower bed. I liked the colour and let it live….the weed turned into a tree and a few years ago we realized it was a persimmon tree. With our luck I never expected it would bear fruit but I was wrong!! Look what happened this year!!A tree that has taught us the power of nature!

It seems my daughter who is a graduate student at Keio is to receive a scholarship. Something out of the blue but very much appreciated!
